JASPER STUBBS GLORYLAND BANDJohn, what was your band called? I just checked the archive and Cream played at Mothers in July 1967, and I'm wondering if it was there and not Midnight City where I saw them. What I do remember for sure was Ginger Baker playing his famous drum-solo 'Toad' at Birmingham Uni Students Union....it went on for ever!
As they once said about the Sixties - if you remember them, you weren't there.

John I am so glad you mention Eddie, I am sure he could have told us a couple is stories.Its a pity that Eddie Haynes, my old pal, and past on member of this forum, is not still around I am sure HE would have tales to tell about Ginger Baker, in fact now I think about it, (dangerous at my age) he did post something about him once I think
I went to see Blind Faith in Toronto, July18,1969. I too was/am a fan of Family. The only thing I remember about the show was Ric Grech playing the electric violin, which I believe was a first for my ears.Blind Faith mentioned above - Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Stevie Winwood, Ric Grech.
I went to see their first concert that was a free concert in Hyde Park, London in 1969.
I had been a big fan of Cream but never saw them live, but also a big fan of a group called Family and the bassist of Blind Faith was Ric Grech who had joined from Family.
The chance to see Eric, Ginger and Ric in one band was too much so I had to go (I lived in london at the time).
Sadly I can remember little of the concert.
I think Eric and Ginger were trying to get away from the excesses of Cream with the long solos so there was little of that in Blind Faith.
There is a web site about the concert, see below (and it seems a DVD of it has been released and there are some videos on YouTube). I have had a look at the crowd photos on the web site below but cant see me anywhere !

Hi Jim, Yes, remember it well. I was the Drummer with Jasper Stubbs.we used to do both of these at all of our gigs. Les Hemmings was the singer, you can find him on FB, he has a heap of info. John Bishop was Hammond, Still works a bit and Piano Tuner to most of the Midlands. Also on FB. Happy to help you on this if you want more info, but find me on FB messenger, much easier for me, I'm in Thailand.Hi, John
I hope you don't mind me coming in on this thread, but I saw that you were involved with Jasper Stubbs Gloryland Band and I've been trying to track down some info about the band for years. I was wondering if these images that I have attached will bring back any memories. I've been a record collector since the back end of the sixties and I picked up this acetate in a charity shop some years ago.
Does this ring any bells for you? Were you involved with this? I have to admit that they are two great recordings and they should have made to it to release. I think if they had been issued at the time, that would now be one extremely collectable piece of vinyl.
If you have any more background info to go with this, I would love to hear it. I've played this acetate on my radio show in the past, but still couldn't get any feedback from it.
Jim
Did you know or care, but he was a pretty good cyclist live a few miles from me in Elizabeth Colorado USA
Sorry about that I corrected my postingOldbrit a bit strong worded that don't you think , I didn't know he was a cyclist . What I did know was his musical prowess and that is what he will be remembered for not his bike rides
I certainly remember seeing Cream at The Midnight City.John, what was your band called? I just checked the archive and Cream played at Mothers in July 1967, and I'm wondering if it was there and not Midnight City where I saw them. What I do remember for sure was Ginger Baker playing his famous drum-solo 'Toad' at Birmingham Uni Students Union....it went on for ever!
